William Butler Yeats
The Falling of Leaves
Autumn is over the long leaves that love us,
and over the mice in barley sheaves;
Yellow the leaves of the rowan above us,
And yellow the wet wild-strawberry leaves.
The hour of the waning of love has beset us,
And weary and worn are our sad souls now;
Let us part, ere the season of passion forget us,
With a kiss and tear on thy drooping brow.
